Inside the alarming rise of tour van thefts: “Why should new bands be more at threat of a robbery?” NME 16/11/21 [excerpt]

Joe Carroll of Maruja, a jazz and rock fusion four-piece from Manchester, agrees that there’s “a real lack of support for young musicians who may find themselves in this position”, adding: “We were shown complete negligence from the local police force, as an ex-officer was ‘leading’ our investigation.”

His band’s story is an anomaly, however. When they set up a GoFundMe appeal to try and reimburse the £6,000 worth of gear that had been stolen from them, they shared the fundraiser across community Facebook groups — but to little avail. That was until One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson chipped in with £4,000 – despite having no previous connection to Maruja.

The band were soon able to head back into the studio to record new music after using the money to replace their stolen instruments and get their van fixed. Carroll says that the donation was particularly meaningful as it was so unexpected, but he is quick to emphasise how they might not have been able to recoup their losses if it wasn’t for Tomlinson.

“I think there should be a better community of support from artists who are bigger than acts on our level,” he says. “We didn’t get any help or advice from any organisations or unions across the industry — all of it came from one kind person. If there was more support across the board, we wouldn’t have to turn to celebrities to help out.”
